In my mind I'm goin' to CarolinaCan't you see the sunshineCan't you just feel the moonshineMaybe just like a friend of mineIt hit me from behindYes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Karen she's a silver sunYou best walk her way and watch it shinin'Watch her watch the mornin' comeA silver tear appearing now I'm cryin'Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt it no ones mindThat loves the finest thing aroundWhisper something soft and kindAnd hey babe the sky's on fire, I'm Dyin'Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I'm goin' to CarolinaCan't you see the sunshineCan't you just feel the moonshineMaybe just like a friend of mineIt hit me from behindYes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Dark and silent last last nightI think I might have heard the highway callingGeese in flight and dogs that biteSigns that might be omens say I going, goingI'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

With a holy host of others standing 'round meStill I'm on the dark side of the moonAnd it seems like it goes on like this foreverYou must forgive meIf I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I'm gone to CarolinaCan't you see the sunshineCan't you just feel the moon shiningAin't it just like a friend of mineTo hit me from behindYes I'm gone to Carolina in my mindGone to Carolina in my mindThen I'm on to Carolina in my mindGone to Carolina in my mindGone - I'm gone - I'm goneSay nice things about me'Cause I'm gone southCarry on without me'Cause I'm gone
